The first week after break is always one of the toughest I feel, especially when it is spring break. Spring break always comes when we are tired from the year, and we are so close and yet not quite there, but the week before had been so nice and usually relaxing.
This week was not laid-back and relaxing. I'm grateful to report that so far (we still have to get through today) the week has been nothing more than our generally busy schedule...and busy it was! I'm going to do a re-cap. Not that any of the readers are concerned, but someday I'm sure I'll look back and miss this (even though I find that very difficult to believe)!
Monday had me working all day at the middle school, then I ran to church for that job. I picked Robert up from track practice, and was very grateful for the leftover pizza from the night before (go ahead and judge) that could be used for dinner. Andrew had to work at his night class, and it was nearly 9:00 before he was home that evening.
Tuesday was another full day of working, and this was at the Ag class that gives me so much trouble. It is always a mentally draining day. That evening Robert had a track meet. Andrew volunteered in the concession stand, and Thomas helped out in there as well. Catherine and I arrived around 4:30, and it was nearly 8:30 when she, Thomas, and I made our way home. Robert and Andrew arrived home another hour later. I needed to get on the computer and complete some band paperwork that needed to be handled this week so papers could go home with kids.
Wednesday I only worked 1/2 day at school...in Kindergarten. I LOVE the little ones, but they absolutely keep you on your toes...literally. There is no sitting at the desk catching up on reading or anything relaxing. After that half day I went to the church. I then had to run an errand for the band, then do more of my church job. I made it home in time to get Thomas to the high school for his track meet, then ran another errand for the band. Catherine and I ventured to Thomas's track meet, where Andrew was working tickets. I'm happy to report it was not a terribly long day for any of us.
Yesterday was another full day of working at the high school. After school Andrew had to attend a work out session for the middle school football, and then attend a professional meeting. I picked the boys up from track practice, then we had to run an errand because we were responsible for snacks for Thomas's youth group last night. We ran home for a quick dinner, and met up with Andrew who had a few minutes before attending a parent meeting at the middle school last night. I took Thomas to youth group where I was scheduled to be the parent volunteer for the evening. We all managed to make it home a little after 8:30.
Today is another full day at the high school. Robert has a track meet this evening, but it's away and I just don't think I can go. I hate missing it, but I REALLY need to get to the grocery and I clearly have not had an opportunity to do it earlier this week. Tomorrow we are having company from out of town, so I really need to be able to work on getting the house picked up. There is no way to know what time Robert will be home, so it just seems easier to let him drive himself home from the school when the bus gets back.
I've already told Andrew that I am going to need a nap this evening. We are just a tired, tired house. On the upside though, we are into the teens (only 18 after today) in terms of school days left. That summer downtime is right around the corner!
